The Plop of the Day for June 30, 2009 is: Who is fooled by the "bags of air" and the Incredible Shrinking Boxes

Magic trick : 10 cents of corn can be turned into $4 box of cereal.

Yep, I tell ya, a $1 barrel of flour can feed a man for a year, like in the good old days! Any price higher than that is highway robbery!

A penny's worth of cotton waste and some ink can be turned into a $100 bill. Maybe that's the real ripoof.

And can lead to tens of thousands more in child support and alimony....

You folks are the same lot that bought homes at the tOP and now sit on a giant AIR BAG of land. Get it, your home, like the bag of chips, 90% air, 10% value.

lol, better you than me!!!!!!

Whar my house at? I been lookin 4 ett HIP, yes some have steel, some have bone. some have org while some have replacements. my house hasn't depreciated in 20 years.

Oddly enough, Ted Kaczynski once tried to run my mother and her boss over with his car when they refused to hire him at the University of Delaware's Math Department. This was back in the 70's. She was pretty freaked out when they discovered he was the Unibomber...

I didn't say it was a new car...

This really must be your bag baby!

Portion size shrinkage is an epidemic. Clearly all big vendors have conspired to size down nearly everything from cereals to seaweed.

And the ridiculous bags of air they sell with a small sample of chips inside, well, thats a scam we've had for some time. 6 oz of chips in a bag big enough to hold 3 lbs.

I think we should be writing letter of complaint to the FTC.

I can see now how these crooks and scamsters are getting away with it. Apparently , there are many fools that like to be taken.


Someone I know just paid $3.29 for a lb of raisins . Bad enough, since they're worth a lot less than that. Oh, and the contents. 15 ounces, nice and tiny print.

Anyone that thinks packaging 15 oz in a box that for decades has contained a full lb, isn't THIEVERY, well, I gots a nice bridge to sell ya.

And we're supposed to be having DEFLATION, why are all the food vendors jacking up their prices?

A website full of people that think they are clever can be ripped off and owned while they think THEY are hip.
